IOC Receives Low Carbon Award From Geneva Climate Network 2050Today

Posted on by sHq_LoGiNz

International Olympic Committee news

In recognition of its progress in reducing its corporate carbon footprint by 30%, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has received the Low Carbon Award from 2050Today, the Geneva-based climate action network of international organisations.

Key Facts

  • Between 2021 and 2024, the IOC reduced its corporate carbon footprint by 30 per cent compared to the 2016-2019 baseline – an intermediate step towards a 50 per cent reduction by 2030.
  • The Low Carbon Award was presented by 2050Today, a Geneva-based climate action network bringing together more than 60 institutions of “International Geneva”.
  • As part of the prize, the Jet d’Eau, one of Geneva’s landmarks, was illuminated in the colours of the Olympic rings on 8 December 2025.

Presented on 3 December 2025 during a ceremony organised by 2050Today in Geneva, the Low Carbon Award acknowledges the IOC’s efforts to cut its direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions. The jury highlighted the IOC’s work to reduce emissions from business travel, supported by the introduction of internal carbon budgets that guide travel planning and decision-making across the organisation.

To achieve this 30 per cent reduction, the IOC implemented a series of measures focused on its largest sources of emissions. For business travel – which represents a significant share of its indirect (scope 3) emissions – the IOC refined the frequency and format of meetings, increased the use of videoconferencing, introduced sustainable travel principles and set carbon budgets for each department. Staff were given access to tools to monitor the CO₂ impact of their trips, helping to embed climate considerations into everyday choices.

These measures enabled the organisation to meet its 30 per cent corporate emissions reduction target and stay on track to halve emissions by 2030.

It is a true honour for the IOC to receive the 2050Today Low Carbon Award, Climate change is affecting all of us, and as a global organisation we have a responsibility to reduce our own footprint, to lead by example and to share what we learn with others.

Christophe De Kepper, IOC Director General

While these efforts relate to the IOC as an organisation, its climate commitment goes further, with a particular focus on reducing the footprint of the Olympic Games. Organising Committees are required to minimise Games-related carbon emissions and to encourage stakeholders to take meaningful climate action.

As part of the prize, Geneva’s Jet d’Eau was illuminated in the colours of the Olympic rings earlier this week.

2050Today is a climate action network bringing together more than 60 institutions of “International Geneva” – including permanent missions, United Nations agencies and other international organisations such as CERN and EPFL – that are working collectively to measure and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. The jury for the Low Carbon Award was composed of representatives from the Canton of Geneva, the City of Geneva, the Industrial Services of Geneva (SIG) and 2050Today.

How Trane Services Supports Retrofit Growth Across Asia Pacific

Posted on by sHq_LoGiNz

Across the Asia Pacific region, the demand for retrofits is increasing. Factors like stricter energy efficiency regulations, aging building infrastructure, and sustainability initiatives that prioritize retrofits over new construction drive this shift in customers who want to improve the performance of systems they already own. 

This trend is especially visible in China, one of Trane Technologies’ largest markets in Asia Pacific. For almost thirty years, Trane Technologies teams in China have supported local customers with equipment upgrades, performance improvements and long-term service programs.

By modernizing older units and integrating newer energy-saving technologies, Zhuang’s team helps reduce energy use and emissions while extending the useful life of customers’ equipment.

VIDEO: How Retrofit Services Drive Energy Efficiency Across Asia Pacific

Significant energy and cost savings for customers

These improvements can be significant. Wang Juncan, Service Project Manager with Trane Services, explains that many customers see energy savings of 20 percent or more. For a facility that spends about 1 million USD a year on electricity, this means savings of nearly 200,000 USD each year.

China’s larger market shows this trend. In July 2025, total electricity use hit historic levels, increasing by 8.6 percent compared to last year. As industrial activity increases and electricity demand grows, many companies are looking for practical ways to reduce consumption without halting production. Trane Technologies’ capability in China, which includes manufacturing operations and an innovation center, gives local teams the tools and testing capability needed to support these upgrades.

Overcoming challenges to retrofit implementation

But reducing customer energy consumption isn’t without its complexities. “I recall a project where our team developed a very detailed solution,” says Wang. “Once fully prepared, we had to complete a planned system retrofit within a 20-minute window to ensure the client’s production line would run 24 hours without stopping. The retrofit project had a long cycle and was heavy on tasks, but success depended on those critical 20 minutes.”

The team delivered on its promise with no interruptions to production. Wang attributes his team’s success to their professionalism, expertise and collaborative teamwork.

Building trust through long-term partnerships

Stories like this highlight the reality many customers face. They need improvement but can’t afford production downtime. This is where, Zhuang believes, long-term partnership and trust is crucial.

“Every time we complete a retrofit project, it feels like going through an open-book exam. With every project, clients trust us more. We always serve clients with the right attitude and professional expertise.” Over time, this trust becomes a lasting outcome of a retrofit program – that, and customers discover that the equipment they have relied on for years suddenly performs better, their energy use drops, their operations become steadier and decisions feel easier because the results are clear.

The demand for this kind of work is growing across Asia Pacific as companies look for ways to cut energy use, decarbonize and strengthen their operations. Trane Technologies’ teams around the world are helping them do exactly that with careful planning, technical skill and a commitment to supporting customers throughout the equipment lifecycle.

Varaha Signs Carbon Removal Agreement with Microsoft

Posted on by sHq_LoGiNz

Agreement Calls for Over 100,000 tonnes of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) across 3 Years

GURUGRAM, India, Jan. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Varaha, a leading developer of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) projects with smallholder farmers across Asia, today announced a major offtake agreement with Microsoft for biochar carbon removal in India.


Farmers spreading biochar in their farms, to enhance soil quality

Varaha will develop 18 industrial gasification reactors that will operate for 15 years, with a total projected removal volume exceeding 2 million tonnes of CO₂ over the project’s lifetime.

The project sources cotton stalks from smallholder farms in Maharashtra, India for use as the feedstock for biochar production. After harvest, these stalks are treated as waste biomass, and open-field burning is a common practice across the region’s cotton belt. This project provides an alternative use for the stalks, converting them into biochar through Varaha’s biomass gasification facilities and sequestering biogenic carbon for centuries.

Delivering Local Impact

Varaha’s biochar project also delivers measurable benefits for farmers and communities:

  • Improvement in Air Quality: The project mitigates the widespread burning of cotton crop residue, significantly reducing PM 2.5 pollutants that contribute to poor air quality. By providing an economically viable alternative to field burning, the initiative tackles a major source of seasonal air pollution.
  • Promotion of Regenerative Agriculture: Farmers participating in the program adopt regenerative practices like crop residue mulching and biochar application to soils, improving soil health, water retention, and long-term agricultural productivity.
  • Lifting Farmer Livelihoods: The program directly enhances the livelihoods of thousands of smallholder farmers, who receive payment both for contributing agricultural biomass and for implementing crop residue incorporation practices.

“This agreement demonstrates that high-integrity carbon removal can drive transformative co-benefits for communities and ecosystems,” said Madhur Jain, Varaha CEO. “We’re not just removing carbon—we’re creating economic incentives for farmers to mitigate open burning of crop residues.”

The project’s first reactor will operate alongside Varaha’s 52-acre cotton research farm in Maharashtra, where Varaha works directly with farmers to test sustainable practices, including soil application of biochar, under real-world conditions. With up to 18 total reactors funded across India’s cotton belt through Microsoft’s commitment, the focus remains clear: scaling quickly while putting farmers first.

Setting New Standards for Asian Carbon Markets

The agreement signals growing recognition of the region’s potential for high-quality carbon removal projects. Biochar offers permanent carbon storage on geological timescales while supporting agricultural systems, making it one of the most promising pathways for durable carbon dioxide removal.

“This offtake agreement broadens the diversity of Microsoft’s carbon removal portfolio with Varaha’s biochar project design that is both scalable and durable. It represents a step forward in scaling biochar CDR growth in Asia and advancing co-benefits for farmers—improved soils, cleaner air, and shared economic opportunity,” said Phil Goodman, program director, CDR at Microsoft.

The credits generated through the Varaha program meet rigorous standards for measurement, reporting, and verification, ensuring that each tonne represents genuine, permanent carbon removal.

About Varaha

Varaha is a leading developer of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) projects in Asia, with a mission of scaling smallholder farmer-led climate solutions to remove carbon from the atmosphere and strengthen rural livelihoods. Specializing in regenerative agriculture, agroforestry, biochar, and enhanced rock weathering projects across South Asia, Varaha has pioneered a technology- and science-driven approach to carbon project development since its founding in 2022. Varaha is headquartered in Gurugram, India, and operates 20 carbon projects across India, Nepal, and Bangladesh.
